I just start when contact is made and the plate lift is even.

i have mine cranked down all the way, but i’m going to try and back them off to see what that looks like
I may actually do better with 90a front/93a back. B/C. I think that’ll give me a larger usable range while having the stiffness I want

I rode 93 B-C today for 8 miles and am really impressed.

The A/B prototipo that Brad brought to esk8con was hillarious to ride. Them tires bite your feet 
The bushings still blow my mind every time I ride the board

We handed off 4 KranK sets (96a, 93a, 90a, and 87a) to @MBS for feedback and testing in Colorado in the coming weeks, looking forward to their take on this approach.

Thanks again @RipTideSports for getting the chance to tryout this setup! Messing around in my garage has been really fun but the real testing starts tomorrow when the rain is supposed to lay off for a bit.
Im 200lbs in gear and 93a B/C with a very light preload is what I’ve settled on so far on a 50lb board running 35front 20 degree rear and im excited.
They feel so good i wanna see what they do at speed 
. I was running the original white bushings with so little preload they could shift into the wrong alignment before and had no range left to make them looser without risking a bump or pothole misaligning them. Feels like im actually in the middle of the adjustment now and can actually dial these babies in.

Your muscle memory will be different with these so please gear up and work up to speed incrementally.

Always, it’s like a new board and i am overly cautious until i get the feel of a setup and it’s limits. Cant push the limits until you find them, otherwise thats just called breaking shit cough (@poastoast ) cough .

I’m 210 and rode the B/C 93 for a while.
I did go to 93B/96C to have a bit more feedback in the rear.
I have not gone over 30, as I am not a fast rider…
So I can’t comment on super fast riding.
But for my riding these have been so much fun.
Both on the street.
Tight urban turns.
And in the woods it’s insane.
It’s amazing to me how much these transformed the board.
I have enough control for speed and I have super lean on the board for the tightest possible turns…

Did you ever ride the Riptides on the Matrix II?
That was a big deal to me.
These are a much bigger transformation I think though…

I never rode the Riptides with Matrix II. It think by that stage I was testing Matrix III protos. Excited about the singularity.

Im going to link some videos I have from testing…
This was my very first run.
I think It was A/B 93.
And you can see how you get full Lean.

I went to the almost to the opposite end of the spectrum immediately after with B/D.
This was viable for me and still had a ton of lean and a tight turning radius.

I am fairly certain I don’t have as tight of a turning radius even when I had DKP on my Demonseed…
Note this is a Giant ass LaCroix Deck.
Figure 8s on the driveway…

I changed over to 93 B/C from the B/D
And it was also viable.

Longer ride in the rain on 93 B/C.
